OMAX Corporation's new Intelli-CAM software for OMAX JetMachining Centers generates 3D tool paths from solid 3D models and performs 3D to 2D file conversions.
OMAX Corporation has developed an advanced computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software tool designed to simplify the cutting of complex, precision parts on its JetMachining Centers. Free to OMAX owners, the new Intelli-CAM software, which interfaces directly with the company's Intelli-MAX Software Suite, generates 3D tool paths from solid 3D models and quickly performs 3D to 2D file conversions.
"Intelli-CAM, through its 3D Pather tool, quickly generates multi-axis, machine-ready tool paths from complex 3D solid models," said a company spokesperson. "Intelli-CAM automatically recognizes viable cutting surfaces from those 3D shapes, including variable bevels and tilted cones. This functionality eliminates the need to manually add 3D attributes to a 2D file, thus allowing users to significantly reduce their production times."
With its 2D conversion system, Intelli-CAM generates machine-ready cutting geometry. With the 3D file imported, users extract the desired 2D profile directly from a slicing plane, shadow or face. Intuitive navigation tools make it easy for users to position and orient the slice, including rotations around all axes, orienting to a face or projecting as a shadow.
Intelli-CAM operates as a standalone application or in tandem with several popular third-party 3D CAD systems. It supports a wide range of neutral and native 3D file formats, including CATIA, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, Pro/E, Creo, Step, IGES, VDA-FS, ACIS, Parasolid, 3D DXF and DWG. CAD software filter packages are not needed. Intelli-CAM also supports direct interface with CAD software such as SolidWorks, SpaceClaim, Inventor and Rhinoceros, which allows users to launch Intelli-CAM directly from those applications.
"Intelli-CAM allows the Intelli-MAX Software Suite to support just about any 3D or 2D CAD file or artistic drawing," said Carl Olsen, Lead Software Engineer for OMAX Corporation. "Our job shop customers will greatly benefit from Intelli-CAM as they will rarely ever again have to ask their customers to re-save a file to a format they can accept because they can now accept nearly all of them. Customers doing 3D programming for 5-axis waterjet cutting will find Intelli-CAM greatly simplifies those operations as well."
